SNOW CLOSED EDITION
Welcome to my Blog!

This week was dominated by Purim.
Monday was Taanit Esther and Rabbi Broder, Mr Worth and many helpers set up the hall. Yr 6 went as the Choir to Young Court and entertained the residents with their beautiful singing – Shma Koleinu as sung by this Choir is extremely moving and as usual we need to commend Mr Savery for his superb direction and training.
…And what a day we had on Tuesday – Fantastic costumes; a full Minyan with a great in-role Megilla reading from Mr Kaufmann and then the spectacular traditional NW Purim parade with hamantaschen at the end of the line.
Rabbi Broder and Rabbi Kerbel put on a little lechayim to celebrate their birthdays and what a sight to see Superman amongst others queueing up for lunch. Mishloach Manot swapped by children and then we went home to the Seuda.
Wednesday started late to accommodate the post-Purim hang-over but there was a facility for those who wished to drop off at normal time and those children enjoyed a video in the Beit Hamidrash.
To clear up a misunderstanding – As has always been tradition at Nw – we ask Parents either to drop off at normal time 8.30 (and we kept the gates open until 9am) or at the advertised drop off time which as always is 15 minutes before School starts ie 9.45 am for a 10 start. 8.30 for a 8.45 start. (Lining up bell goes at 8.45 and we aim to be in by 8.50)
This helps us to run the School smoothly and we appreciate if Parents can make their arrangements accordingly.
On Thursday we had the Matza Bakery in and the children enjoyed the hands-on demonstration whilst the rest of us fretted about how soon Pesach is!
We also had a Local Education authority Special Educational Needs audit and training for the current Admissions Process which is particularly complicated this year
Despite a hiccup over a burst water main today – we have got to Shabbat with much learning and excitement and I wish you all a Shabbat shalom. Enjoy the Purim slideshow
And remember Parents evening next week.
Want to commend the Chess team who have recently performed very well and the football teams who did themselves proud in the interschools tournament. We are loking forward to the gala and we are certainly gaining a competitive edge in our sporting quest for excellent progress.
We are looking forward to the model Sedarim and we are nearly at the end of another successful term
The Student Council has worked incredibly hard to deliver their initiative of ‘NW has talent’ and tomorrow the 10 Finalist performances take to the Stage!
Well done to all the Student Council members for a fantastic assembley 'NORTH WEST HAS TALENT' It certainly does!!!
All of the final 10 acts were outstanding and the judges found it extremly hard to decide on a winner. Eventually Emily from Year 2 was annaced the winner and won the 2009 North West competition of North West Has Talent!
Thank you once again to all the student council especially Noa and Matthew and Miss Silverstein for all her hard work.
